Time Travel: The Heroine Has Arrived!

Xuan Ke’s usually impassive heart was seized with panic when he saw his junior sister covered in blood.

He feared that he had arrived a moment too late.

Fortunately, as he embraced the person in his arms, the situation didn’t seem too dire.

He turned around, his indifferent eyes scanning the crowd of onlookers, dumbfounded.

“The…the Sword Saint!” someone couldn’t help but exclaim in a low voice.

Who else could annihilate a Sword Sovereign without even drawing a sword, if not the Sword Saint?

Xuan Ke didn’t pay any attention to these people and left with Gu Shengyin in his arms.

The crowd sighed in relief, especially those who had participated in attacking Gu Shengyin, feeling fortunate to have escaped with their lives.

But the next moment, a sword light capable of obscuring the skies descended!

Xuan Ke’s voice echoed in everyone’s minds: “Those who hurt my junior sister will pay with their blood!”

Screams rose from every direction, none of those involved in the attack on Gu Shengyin were spared.@@novelbin@@

Bai Xinya shivered involuntarily.

Her gaze drifted toward the direction Xuan Ke had left, the power of a Sword Saint… was it really this formidable?

If only someone could protect her like that… she lowered her eyes, hiding the yearning within them.

When Gu Shengyin woke up, she felt pain all over her body.

“System, can I request to block out the pain?” she negotiated with the system.

But the system was unwilling to comply: “The system had previously warned the host to cease dangerous actions, which could lead to extremely serious consequences, including the physical death of the host in this world. If the host ignores the advice, be prepared to endure the pain.”

For some reason, Gu Shengyin actually sensed a hint of concern in the system’s words.

She pleaded, “Alright, I’ll be more careful next time.”

Careful, but not a promise never to do it again. Gu Shengyin thought, some things just can’t be avoided simply by knowing the consequences.

The system, after all, was an AI and couldn’t detect the subtext of Gu Shengyin’s words, and considering the host’s typically outstanding performance, the simple-minded system was quickly persuaded to forgive Gu Shengyin.

“Junior sister is awake?” Xuan Ke entered carrying a tray.

“Senior brother.” Gu Shengyin looked at him and inexplicably felt a bit guilty.

“Now that you are awake, take the medicine.” Xuan Ke said impassively, getting ready to leave.

“Senior brother?” Gu Shengyin quickly grabbed onto his sleeve.

Xuan Ke looked down at her, only half-looking.

“Are you angry, senior brother?” Gu Shengyin asked with certainty.

Xuan Ke scrutinized his junior sister.

He hadn’t noticed when that delicate and lovely girl had grown up so much.

Junior sister, having followed Uncle Master Ling Xiao, was usually silent and indifferent to everyone, only showing her girlish whims to him occasionally.

But that vibrant junior sister was now pale and without a trace of color on her lips. When he found her, she was helplessly kneeling on the ground, her life hanging by a thread.

No one knew how panicked he had been at that moment.

Xuan Ke, looking at the still confused Gu Shengyin, suddenly felt the anger inside him surging out.

“Why would senior brother be angry? What should I be angry about? Angry that you pushed yourself with your injuries? Angry that your abilities have grown so much that you alone fought against three Sword Emperors and a Sword Sovereign? Or angry that in just a few short months, you managed to get yourself into this state?”

He methodically unwound Gu Shengyin’s fingers from his sleeve, which she blocked with her other hand.

“I was wrong, senior brother.” Gu Shengyin admitted her mistake.

She looked up at Xuan Ke with eager eyes, her clear irises reflecting his figure.

Seeing Gu Shengyin like this, Xuan Ke suddenly felt his anger dissipate.
